A tip of the hat to Lee Levine for spotting this quote in the April 2 edition of
"The Aesthete" profile in the Financial Times. Paul Andrews, the creative director of Salvatore Ferragamo, was asked what he's currently reading:
"The book on my bedside table is A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. It was recommended to me by two avid reader friends, Tommy Dorfman and Jacob Bixenman. With its length and heavy subject matter, it's not an easy read, but it's such a powerful book. It engages with queer aesthetic modes, emotional truth, self-indulgence, addiction and, ultimately, death. You can't imagine there is going to be another turn and suddenly you're bawling your eyes out again."
(We discussed the novel on Feb. 7, 2018.)
